Ragnarr: Day 153

If Pelor had meant for dwarves to swim, he'd have given us flippers. Or at least given us some sort of body that was made for swimming, not this stubby damn thing. That damn elf once told me I was built like a cannon call. Well guess what? Cannon balls don't float.

It's got to be hard on the smashing types. Arcadius seems to do alright. He's got a spear, which seems to work better than anything, but the dwarf and the orc can't so much smash as vaguely wave a weapon in the general direction of the enemy and hope it runs away.

But we keep fighting damn fish and octopusses and damn monsters that take one look at us and know that they can swim, and we sure as hell can't.

At least Pelor is still taking care of us here in the depths. Something tells me he wouldn't be too happy with me if I I brought one of his fire elementals out down here, but he gave me a mean fish cat thing that can swim as well as I can't. I think it bailed out that damn Warlock.

The deaf warlock. I'll have to ask Pelor to heal that tomorrow. It seems the sea god didn't think his teleporting around was funny and popped his ears. Not sure the sea god is wrong, but Pelor's a forgiving sort, so maybe he'll give me the power. That'd be nice.

At least we've got one good sea elf with us. Well, good for an elf. I wonder how many low bids the gods took before they got desperate enough to put elves in the ocean. I suppose it's better than putting dwarves there, but it's still ridiculous. She's good in a fight, though, so I'll look past her racial inadequacies.

May Pelor get me through this damn ocean, so that I can write this down later. It's no good grumbling to myself underwater. Nobody but the damn fish will get to hear a perfectly gripe. At least if I write it down, someone can read it when I'm dead, and say "Now there was a dwarf who knew how to complain properly."

Pelor, if you're listening, it would be nice if you could help me out with that. Whenever I die, anyway. Not saying that I want to die now, mind you. Later.

Damn. More bloody fish.
